I gained everything back over the years as well. Last year I decided to get back on the wagon and lost a few pounds so Dr Baggs gave me a fill. Yes, he still there. Now I’m struggling to loose a few more so I can get another fill…. good luck with the sleeve!

Hello, how’s everyone? I often wonder where folks are in this journey.

Hey Mo, glad to hear you are on the mend. After your post I went in to get an upper GI and found out my band had slipped... Ugh! Since I'm not ready to get my band out we decided to take the fluid out (well most of it) it's been about 4 wks and I feel much much better my reflux is gone. I did gain about 4 lbs so I'm now trying really hard to get back on program. I'm sure at some point I'll need to get it out but I want to try and loose a bit more 1st.

Oh heather congrats on the baby!

Hey there everyone, good to hear from you all. Sounds like many of us are at the same place more or less. I'm pretty much at a stand still when it comes to weight loss. I'm about 10lbs less than what I was post op but about 15-20lbs away from my goal. I've been fluctuating with 5lbs +\- ever since. Mo it's interesting about the burning you are experiencing I've been on Prilosec everyday for the past few years and it has got worse lately. I think I'm going to go in to get my band checked since I still have the same amount of fluid in I guess. How do you know if your band is eroded? I'm nervous about going in I don't want them to take it out and I start gaining especially if I still have to get to goal. Anyway hopefully we can keep in touch to motivate each other. And if anyone has any insight to this erosion thing let me know

No worries your turn will come soon enough....In the meantime you will be able to get all the details from Kim. FYI- Kim is doing ok, a lot of nausea but she was able to walk about 3am. Not sure if she will be able to go home today, Never the less she's sleeved!

Heather & Kim I'm sending well wishes and positive thoughts your way. I know you have mixed emotions right now but rest assure things will be just fine and you will be up and abut before you know it. whoot hoo!!!

Hey there everyone, just wanted to remind you all that we are still meeting for our walk and talk this Sat, 5/14 at 9:30 am along the Vallejo Marina. Here is the address of the meet location, lots of parking. Brinkman's Marine Inc 1 Curtola Parkway, Vallejo, CA 94590-5807 Hope to see you there

Congrats Heather!!! Go figure I know someone else getting sleeved the same day at SSF.....Yippie Sorry you can't make the walk. Ladies how about 9:30am (5/14)? that way nobody has to leave home before 8am

Oh, did you all catch Dr OZ last weeks episode about lapband? You can see exerpts online http://www.doctoroz.com/question?query=lap%20band&type=droz

good looking out Mo....FYI-mark your calendars for May 14th...walk & talk Vallejo.

I too am really excited to hear from you all. Well the short version of my story is I've been in a funk ever since the holidays and all this darn rain. (EXCUSE) I loose 5 lbs and gain 4, loose 4 and gain 5...just one big circle. My band is working fine I just need to be consistent. Like you Pat I can eat sliders like no bodies business. but let me have a pc of chicken and it gets stuck. I called myself getting serious today so I went and walked the bridge after work. I just want to walk at least 3 times this week. Oh and since I'm putting it out there I have my wine every now and again so that's no help. The last time I went to see Dr P was my 1 yr appt. She pretty much told me not to come back until I loose 10 lbs but I don't think I can handle another fill. I'm pretty tight but I know how to get around that... Reggie you're right this is a sign for us to get back together, re-set and support each other. So even if we don't get together until May we can still check in here to keep each other motivated I hope. Smooches!
